Clutch stats can be super misleading and unreliable because there is just a lack of sample size for basically every player.

[@Jardermorder]

As a Mavs fan, saying this after trade-deadline roster is garbage is just untrue. Mavs are probably the deepest team in the league, have legit 11 playable playoff guys (even though THJ has been stinking it up recently), have size, rim potection, paint threats, defensive versatility (who would've thought at the beginning of the season), can crash the glass, have ball-handling options in Exum and Hardy, can go small with Kleber and Washington... They can't hit 3s rn but even though they've shot 33% in the last 8 games, they've still won 7 of them. Take away their loss (by 7 to the Thunder without Luka shooting 41% from 3), and they've won 7/7 games while shooting 31.9% from 3. If their threes start falling, watch out

[@stormageddon248]

Mavs are 🗑️

[@Jardermorder]

@@stormageddon248 let's see if you keep your stance after Mavs thrash your team (not applicable to Celtics, Nuggets or Pacers, for whatever reason Mavs don't know how to play them)

[@denyosworld2620]

​@Jardermorder agree with you they have everything now and Kyrie averaging 25/5/5 similar numbers like Edwards, but the crazy thing is that he is the 2nd option on the team. Plus not putting Irving in top20 is sad!

[@MikeyTheePack]

Bruh you just cherry picked a few things y'all got going for yalls selves n said the same thing damn near in five different ways💀 "if you take off their loss they've been 7/7 recently" goofy ash

[@Jardermorder]

@@MikeyTheePack they lost by 7 against OKC in a game Luka didn't play. The last time everybody played, Mavs demolished OKC by 35, and there's good reason to believe they'd do it again. OKC is terrible at two things: rebounding and rim protection. Mavs bullied them non-stop in the paint, I think outscoring them by 30+, because Chet cannot deal with Lively nor Gafford. So yeah, I'm very confident in any OKC-Mavs matchup, that's why I'm not taking into account that game as it's not representative of a fully healthy Mavs team. If you want to know about Mavs' problems, right now they have the lack of perimeter defense and 3pt shooting in general. Against the Nuggets anyone not named Kyrie or Luka combined for 0/13 from 3. PJ Washington and Maxi Kleber are around 20-25% from 3 since the trade deadline, DJJ is not a great shooter, Green is inconsistent and Hardaway is nearly unplayable right now. The only guy that can be trusted is Exum (50% from 3, wild) but he shoots very little usually. Also, Luka isn't playing his best bball rn, having the worst game of his career shooting 5/26 against the Spurs. Defensively they've been surprisingly good, as they were 23rd in defensive rating before the trade deadline and are 8th since then, but there is still misscommunication and mistakes in defensive rotations, which makes sense since PJ and Gafford arrived 15 games ago. I would delve deep into how injured they were in the first half of the season and how easily they could have won like 4 more games if Kyrie missed 15 games instead of the 22 he's missed this season, putting them comfortably in 4th place in the West, but I'll leave that for future interest

[@Turtle_D_Money]

Tyrese haliburton over ant is wild

[@michaelahurt]

Not really. There's more to basketball than raw talent. Tyrese is an astronomically better playmaker and he's a more efficient scorer -- especially before this little slump. Ant is a better defender but even if he were Herb Jones it wouldn't be enough to overcome how much better Hali is on offense. (And he's not close to Herb. He has flashes but he's still inconsistent and isn't super aware off ball)

[@Turtle_D_Money]

Luka all the way and it is not even close , what Luka doing this season is just crazy , the only reason Mavs not top 4 seed because of team injuries , never Jokic or Giannis better players then Luka, never seen Jokic scoring 73 or 60-20-10 or averaging almost 34 tripple double

[@awm6368]

If Jokic is scoring over 30 the Nuggets are probably losing. Both times Jokic hit the 50 threshold the Nuggets lost. So yeah, you won't see Jokic putting up 60 points in games, and it's not because he's not capable, it's because his team has a lower win percentage when he's taking that many looks. That's the difference between Doncic and Jokic right there: Jokic will always do what the team needs to win, Doncic will not.

idk how people can even have embiid in top 5 after seeing what happened in the post season last year...or the year before.... or the year before.... to be an enthusiastic embiid/sixers fan you have to have like a 5 minute memory

[@imdbtruth]

​@samantharay6098 I get that, but he's so good in the regular season it's hard to discount him too much. However I know his playoff numbers have been pretty trash, I guess I'm also thinking he's too good to continue to struggle every year in the playoffs.

[@samantharay6098]

@@imdbtruth he's a good player, and i actually thought his defensive performance until probably the last game when tatum found a way to exploit him taking him out to the wing was almost as impressive as AD's run. But is he a top 5 performer when it matters? If not, can he be considered one of the best in the league in real terms? I would actually like to see Embiid exorcize the playoff demons, but if you watch you can see why he's getting exploited. As just one example, if you remove the foul-baiting aspect of his game, what's left? A very good player, and if he stuck to that, he wouldn't be on the floor still begging for a call while his teamates try to play 4 vs 5 on the other end. it actively hurts his real game, which is good enough when he's no being hacked by the defense. His passing this year took a huge leap forward, like he tried to improve and really did. I'd like to see Embiid become one of the best in the league and a legitimate rival to Jokic so we get some epic finals battles, but we just haven't seen it yet.

[@AbdullahSediqi23]

Jimmy is easily a top 10 player look at what he did against Milwaukee in round 1 when he was healthy with a team lacking 2 of their normal starters
